Attack On Windscale

Somebody wants Windscale, although what they're going to do with it heaven only knows. Maybe they've got a beach they don't like people swimming in.

So what is Attack On Windscale, adventure or arcade? It's both. On two cassettes already. Part one is standard Space Invaders fare with a pretty background, but part two could be a Purple People Eater for all I know.

There's this problem, see. You don't get into the adventure without a password and the password is hidden somewhere in the bowels of screen four of the action game. We put our best men on it (some were never seen again!) but no-one got past the second screen.

Result: no password/no adventure.

All we know is that you have to find a quartz crystal which you use to stop the reactor from going critical. You then have to find the nasties who started all the trouble and give them a seeing to.

If you're suddenly seized with an uncontrollable desire for an adventure with Space Invaders for dessert then you might save yourself with this offering.
